An Exploration of Multi-Cultural Markets
Stafford Thompson, Jr., FSA, MAAA and Rafael Shabetai

 
Whether your company has international experience or not, a business plan is required in order to enter or expand into the multi-cultural markets in the United States or Canada. Is your organization to be a customerdriven organization or a process-driven organization? Do you assess risk based on the risks of a culture or do you strictly follow your underwriting criteria? These topics will be discussed in an effort to learn how to better communicate with your multi-cultural customer base.
